It appears that plans for season three of BBC’s Atlantis have sunk. The TV show, which airs on BBC America here in the States, has been cancelled after two seasons.
On Atlantis, a young man named Jason (Jack Donnelly) goes in search of his long-missing father and ends up on the shores of ancient Atlantis. He’s befriended by a pair of unlucky locals — former prize fighter Hercules (Mark Addy) and intellectual Pythagoras (Robert Emms) — as well as a revered Oracle (Juliet Stevenson). Others in the cast include Sarah Parish, Aiysha Hart, and Jemima Rooper.
BBC announced the show’s cancellation this way: “The final seven episodes of Atlantis will transmit on BBC One in spring. We would like to thank Urban Myth Films and all the cast and crew but the series will not be re-commissioned. We are very proud of both series but to keep increasing the range of BBC One drama we have to make difficult decisions to bring new shows through.”
Six of the 13 episodes of season two have aired so far in the US. No word on when they’ll be released here.
What do you think? Do you like the Atlantis TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
An amazing show and yet again got cancelled! I hope they reconsider it and bring it back!
I had a feeling when the King died the
story could be over with,like the series
Merlin,everyone didn’t want to see it go
and how it ended didn’t make since.Becareful
BBC u may lose your fans!!!!
I agree with the previous comment. It’s a fun, great show! I love the characters. Please reconsider and bring it back for a third season.
So disappointed that Atlantis has been axed. Stupid BBC
It is insane to cancel the mythological series of atlantis in a mid season thereby leaving so many people/fans in suspense
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT!!!
Why is it that you get a great show, and it gets cancelled? It seems that any show that is cute and fun doesn’t make it. Getting so tired of watching series and then they just cancel them. Maybe they should do better advertising so people know a show even exists.
I was wanting to see where Jason ended
up,to find out that he has royal blood,
but no not now,if you going to cancel
a show so soon don’t even show it.
Very Upset!!!!!
Don’t cancel it!!!
Don’t cancel please!!!!!!
I enjoyed this show a lot, the interaction of the characters was well done and the stories
very enjoyable. This show beat a lot of the rubbish on TV today by a win fall.
Are you hearing all of us, BBC or don’t our feeling mean anything thing to you? Perhaps you think you will lose face if you go back on a previously stated position. Trust me, you will lose much more if you go ahead and cancel this wonderful show and disregard the loud outcry from so many of this shows fans. So, how about a status update. AT LEAST tell us when the remaining series 2 episodes will air!
Commun THEY HAVE TO DO ATLANTIS SEASON 3 .. What it is the problem ? every time we want to see a show they always canceled it .. why leaving fans behind ? PLEASE I NEED TO SEE WHAT IT NEXT °°°°
well it know what to thing cause I got to see episode9 of Atlantics I am soooo glad that they did it I hope they reconsider there plans for season 3 please let there be a season 3

I really like this show and am sad of the news that there will be no season 3. It is a great family show to watch with an awesome cast, cool action and interesting stories. I love how they are able to bring in the different Greek Myths; even though they change some details of course. I hope they at least end season 2 on a happy note and not on a cliffhanger. Maybe we will be lucky and another network will pick it up like SyFy, Amazon or Netflix. But sadly since it doesn’t have a whole lot of… Read more »
This Show Atlantis Should Have Been Renewed. Every time We Have A Good And Interesting Show They Cancel it When It Is Getting Really Good.You People Are Insane Letting This Get Canceled.
I just wish the BBC would complete the series. They don’t do this often, thankfully, but it’s really spoiled my enjoyment of season 2. They did this with an amazing series called The Fades. Two awesome seasons then cancelled. It’s not as if they have to worry about advertisers!
So disappointing to see such a great show being dumped . Can someone else take it on like Netflix has done with Longmire they have saved a good show..C’mon Netflix do it again PLEASE !!!!
